Mentoring/Shadowing opportunities

This year we have several ways students can find a mentor or shadow a doctor.

• Follow a doctor in the department of Family Medicine at the University of Maryland By following a doctor for a couple of hours, students are able to see the range of medical issues family physicians deal with on a daily basis. If interested please email Dr. Colgan at rcolgan@som.umaryland.edu



• Longitudinal Pregnancy shadowing This year we are setting up an opportunity for students to be matched with a pregnant woman. Students will follow one patient as she attends her prenatal check-ups. This is a valuable way to see the longitudinal care of family medicine in action. If interested please email Dr. Colgan at rcolgan@som.umaryland.edu



• The Maryland Academy of Family Physicians Mentoring Program This program has been set up to allow students to chose a mentor on-line. Students can make their selection based on specific interests within family medicine, type of medical practice, and practice setting. To find out more please visit http://www.mentor.virtualfp.com
